The Miss California's Teen competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the U.S. state of California in the Miss America's Teen pageant. The program started in June 1999 which was the first Outstanding Teen program in the nation. This later inspired the creation of the Miss America's Outstanding Teen pageant in 2005.
In January 2023, the official name of the pageant was changed from Miss California’s Outstanding Teen, to Miss California’s Teen, in accordance with the national pageant.
Julianne Rocke of Placentia was crowned Miss California's Teen on June 19, 2026, at the William Saroyan Theatre in Fresno, California. She competed for the title of Miss America's Teen 2027 on September 5, 2026, at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida.
